Chapter 14: Temporary Repulsion

Chapter 14: Temporary Repulsion

“It seems you’ve chosen the second option! Then let me show you the power of we, the Ultimate Life Form! Bow before this power!”

Seeing the opponent charge at him, Diablo spread his arms wide and rushed forward.

Just as they were about to collide, Diablo clenched his right fist and swung it toward Yake’s chest. Not to be outdone, Yake formed a fist and aimed a punch back at Diablo.

After both landed a punch on each other, they stumbled back two steps. However, judging by their reactions, it was clear that Yake was more injured.

After taking his two steps back, Diablo quickly regained his composure. That punch had merely knocked him back without inflicting any real damage.

Yake, on the other hand, continued to backpedal several steps before kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest. It seemed that punch had really hurt him.

【This guy’s fists are incredibly tough, and he hits with quite the force. That really stings! I can’t just keep going head-to-head with him; I need to change my approach.】

With that thought, Yake drew his sword. If fists wouldn’t work, then it was time to use a weapon.

“Using a weapon now? No problem. You’ll quickly see that it makes no difference whether you fight me with bare hands or a weapon as an Ultimate Life Form.”

Diablo remained unfazed at the sight of Yake’s sword. After all, whether fist or weapon, it would all be the same against his iron-like skin.

As he prepared to charge at Yake again, Aierjisi, positioned to his left, unleashed a magic attack on him. She bombarded him with several magical projectiles, filling the air with thick smoke.

“Did I take him down? I’d love to say that, but he’s an Ultimate Life Form, so I’m guessing it won’t be that easy.”

Watching the thick smoke not dissipate, Aierjisi knew well the “no smoke, no harm” principle.

“How ridiculous. Such weak magic attacks would take me years of training to feel any damage. Try again!”

As expected, her magic did nothing against Diablo. Taking advantage of the smoke, Aierjisi quickly repositioned herself to prepare for her next magical assault.

“Well, how about this? Shadow Slash!”

Yake swung his sword, sending a blade-shaped attack soaring toward Diablo.

“I told you, such weak attacks are useless against me.”

Diablo contemptuously raised his arm and flicked his finger, effortlessly shattering Yake’s Shadow Slash.

“Nani?! You just flicked your finger and destroyed my Shadow Slash?!”

Seeing his attack dissolve so easily left Yake utterly shocked, nearly dropping his jaw. He knew his attack wasn’t very strong, but for it to be dismissed with merely a flick was a blow to his pride.

“Your attacks are only at this level. Don’t feel ashamed; it’s not because you’re weak, but because, as an Ultimate Life Form, my power dwarfs yours.”

Diablo proudly flicked his finger, reveling in being an Ultimate Life Form.

“Now, how about you see this? Triple Explosion!”

Aierjisi controlled three magical spheres she’d conjured and unleashed them towards Diablo, launching another magical bombardment.

“Enough, enough, enough! How many times do I have to say it? Your attacks merely tickle me, Ultimate Life Form that I am! Hmm? What’s this?”

After absorbing the Triple Explosion, Diablo suffered no significant damage; only a small tear appeared on his shoulder from the attack.

“You dare leave a mark on my esteemed body as an Ultimate Life Form! This is unforgivable!”

Seeing the damage on his prized form sent Diablo into a furious rage. He would not spare this little girl; she would taste his wrath.

“Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist: Bull Breaking Fist!”

Diablo clenched his fists together and gathered all his energy in front of him, sending a wave of energy flying towards Aierjisi.

“Aier!”

Seeing the Little Princess in danger, Yake rushed in to shield her from the attack without thinking twice.

“Don’t come here, Yake! You can’t block this attack! Let me handle it!”

While stopping Yake’s foolishness, Aierjisi gathered fire elements in her hands to form a fireball, shooting it out as an energy wave, while simultaneously sending the three magical spheres to unleash beams.

“Delirium Ray! Triple Burst!”

Aierjisi’s magic collided with Diablo’s energy wave, creating a massive explosion.

“Ah!”

“What the heck!”

“Uggh!”

The powerful shockwave from the explosion sent all three of them flying. After their respective screams, they all landed on the ground.

“Darn it. That consumed too much energy on the barrier; let’s withdraw for now. Aierjisi, consider yourself lucky to have survived this. But I won’t let you off the hook. As long as you’re here, I will definitely come back for you, no matter where you hide.”

Clutching his shoulder, Diablo retreated into the wormhole.

“Ah… that explosion was really… If it were just the Delirium Ray, I definitely wouldn’t have made it, but luckily I added the Triple Burst to barely match that guy’s attack. Yake, how are you holding up?”

After lying on the ground for a while, Aierjisi stood up from the snow. The explosion had indeed taken a toll on her, but because she was of the Blood Clan, her body healed quickly.

“I’m doing okay, but I just can’t seem to stand up.”

Yake, impacted by the earlier shockwave, felt weak and couldn’t get himself up.

“Can’t stand? Then I’ll just have to carry you back.”

Aierjisi stepped up to Yake, who was down in the snow, grabbed his hand, and hoisted him onto her shoulder, returning to the Royal Palace together.
